Let's take a step back. This article is about notifying rejected candidates. You made some sort of claim that you felt unimportant, and you were an 'applicant' - not even an intern, but someone who wanted an internship and didn't get it.
Are interns important? Sure, they can contribute. Are intern 'applicants' important to Red Hat as a company?
I'm not condoning the sending of generic rejections. But again, if you expect your rejection as an internship applicant to be the same as the person who interviewed for the CTO position, it's a naive thought. I'm not saying it's correct or just, but it is naive.
There would be hundreds or thousands of applicants for internships, and in a perfect world the HR of a company will spend 1 hour reading each résumé, speaking to every candidate, and then writing a very personalized and sympathetic letter to each rejected candidate.
You are comparing the importance of interns with employees. The discussion, as it started, was about rejected intern applicants. We got way off track here.
